What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"The Nordland Quilted Vest has become my default grab on any day where the temperature is in that awkward in-between zone. The RDS certified down punches well above what you would expect from something this light and packable, and the cire finish gives it a cleaner look than most vests at this price point."The best vest is the one you actually have with you. The Swix Nordland Quilted Vest earns that spot by packing down small enough to live in a jacket pocket or the bottom of a daypack without a second thought. RDS-certified 80% white duck down insulation delivers genuine warmth without any of the bulk, and the 100% nylon cire finish gives the fabric a sleek, water-resistant exterior that holds up through unpredictable fall and winter weather. Whether you are layering it under a shell on a chilly training day or throwing it on over a flannel for an afternoon outside, the Nordland Quilted Vest transitions effortlessly between whatever the day asks of you. An internal pocket keeps a card or key close at hand, and the packable construction means it is always ready when the temperature drops without warning.
